I heard a notification sound from my room and realized the phone had opened so I went to check the notification.

Walking down the hallway a strange breeze passed down my spine causing me to stop in place for a second but I continued to walk into the room.

Entering the room I sit down on the bed and check the notification which was from Lynk from an unknown user. Clicking on the actual notification I see it is a long message.

Reading the message I feel something strange, something following me but I can't figure out what. Reading on without much interest I come to a part of the text that made me curious.

The message says that he thanks me for helping him stand up from that crowd of people. Strange, how did he find my username? I didn't give it to anyone to write to me.

I finally decided to reply with the text ' You're welcome but who the heck are you? ' and the other user read my message almost instantly.

This one writes and the feeling that I'm being followed grew more and more and when he sent me the message I felt a slight relaxation seeing that it's just the guy who fell down in that crowd but the feeling that I'm being followed still remained.

- Now I know who this guy is, but how did he find out my Lynk username?

His real name apparently is Tanaka Yuto and he's a 1st year student and doesn't know how to fit in at this school.

- I kind of understand him but I don't care.

I get off Lynk and go back to the kitchen and make myself something to eat.

Eating I see out of the corner of my eye a red light flickering in the corner of the kitchen but I choose not to look directly into the camera.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

- So someone is watching me, is it the same guy from earlier? But it doesn't make sense.

I get up from the table after eating and wash my plate, ignoring the camera fixed on me.

- Someone broke into my house and installed surveillance cameras.

Leaving the kitchen I turn off the light and walk to my room, in the dark hallway I see another red light flickering but I ignore that one too. Once I enter the room I notice 4 surveillance cameras, each in each corner of the room.

- Whoever set these up made sure they did at least a good job.

I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling, thinking about how to get rid of these cameras without being seen but I know there's no way I can do that because he'll figure out I took them down anyway.

I pick up my phone and open it, the bright light almost blinds me so I turn the brightness of the phone lower and look through the phone. A new notification pops up and this time it's from a girl.

Clicking on the notification I see the picture of the train girl, that Sakura. She says hello and asks if I'm okay. Seriously bro how does everyone get my username?

I write back that I'm doing well and ask her how she got my username and she leaves me on seen.

- Hm.

I turned my phone off and after about 2 minutes I got a notification but I turned my phone off completely and was sitting in the dark of my room and fell asleep.

After a long sleep I wake up in the middle of the night, get out of bed and walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Walking down the hallway without a light source I trip and almost fall to the floor but manage not to fall.

Entering the kitchen I turn on the light and turn on the water, grab a glass and pour cold water into my glass. The sound of the water soothed me somewhat but after my glass filled I turned off the tap and drank the water, a little water dripping from my mouth.

I wipe my mouth and put the glass on the table and turn off the light in the kitchen, walking down the hall again I look around, despite not seeing much of anything. I walk into my room and throw myself straight into bed with my face in the pillow.

I kept moving from side to side because I couldn't sleep at all, I turned my head and looked at my phone so I decided to turn it on to see what time it was. The vibrating sound made by the phone raised the skin on me.

"I need to stop freaking out about that sound."

I laughed in my thought and waited for the phone to open and finally it did, the clock was 11:23 and I see 10 new messages from Sakura. I thought they were just useless messages until I look at them. The first message was that she found my username simply by mistake and decided to write me.

The rest of the messages were if I wanted to see her that night but obviously I couldn't do that at 11pm and I honestly didn't really want to.

Again I felt like I was being watched by those cameras, which was already bothering me so I turned my phone off and the feeling went away.

- Come to think of it the surveillance cameras don't have an infrared sensor or maybe that's not why the feeling disappeared.

I'm looking in one of the corners without it being obvious that I'm doing it and the cameras are still rolling, I get out of bed and go to my desk where I turn on my lamp and open my laptop.

Sitting at my desk I look at my laptop and go into the browser, pretending to look for random stuff, the feeling of being watched has grown to another level, so I choose to leave the laptop for a bit and go to the bathroom.

Walking down the hallway of my house, I turn on the bathroom light and step inside. I turn on the water and wash my face and wipe with a towel and then turn off the water.

The stillness of the bathroom allows me to hear my own breathing and heartbeat. The sound of my heartbeat soothes me, gives me a sense of security and I exhale to relieve more stress.
